DH died when I was 36 weeks pregnant. DD2 is two today! (DD1 nearly 6). Since she was born I've got back to work nearly full time, learned to drive and done the London marathon in aid of CRUK. My daughters are happy and healthy and have the most amazing bond. I've made a ton of mistakes but right now I just want to be proud.

I very rarely post but had to say what an amazing person you are. I bet you look back on a time when you wondered how you would ever get here, but you did.
Your DH would be so proud, as will your girls when they are old enough to understand what you have achieved for them.

Flowers for you and lots of Cake today.

Happy birthday minigrobags.
